BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and device in a wireless communication system that supports data transmissions on Unlicensed Spectrum.

Related Art

Application scenarios of future wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly diversified, and different application scenarios have different performance demands on systems. In order to meet different performance requirements of various application scenarios, a research project on access to unlicensed spectrum under New Radio (NR) was also approved at 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Radio Access Network (RAN) #75 plenary session, the research project is expected to be completed in R15 version, and WI will be started in R16 version to standardize related technologies.

In Long Term Evolution (LTE) License Assisted Access (LAA) project, a transmitter (base station or User Equipment) needs to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT) before transmitting data on unlicensed spectrum to ensure that no interface is incurred to other ongoing wireless transmissions on the unlicensed spectrum.

SUMMARY

The inventors have found through researches that in NR-Unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) system, and especially in NR-U system deployed in Stand Alone (SA) scenario, due to limitations such as Max Channel Occupy Time (MCOT), LBT and etc., transmission time of uplink data based on scheduling and uplink control information cannot always be accurately predicted by base station, which brings new problems to scheduling of uplink transmissions. Considering that beamforming based on large-scale antenna array will be widely used in NR system, channel occupation and interference conditions in different beamforming directions will be very different. Therefore, the influence of beam direction needs to be taken into consideration when LBT is performed, which makes transmission time of uplink data and uplink control information more difficult to predict.

Embodiment 3

Embodiment 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane, as shown in FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane. In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture for a UE and a gNB is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305 comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may comprise several protocol layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW 213 of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e., a peer UE, a server, etc.). The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing among variable radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides a header compression for a higher-layer packet so as to reduce a radio transmission overhead. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting a packet and provides support for UE handover between gNBs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of a higher-layer packet, retransmission of a lost packet, and reordering of a packet so as to compensate the disordered receiving caused by Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARM). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating between UEs various radio resources (i.e., resources block) in a cell. The MAC sublayer 302 is also in charge of HARQ operation. In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture of the UE and the gNB is almost the same as the radio protocol architecture in the user plane on the PHY 301 and the L2 305, but there is no header compression for the control plane. The control plane also comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer 306 in the layer 3 (L3). The RRC sublayer 306 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearer) and configuring the lower layer using an RRC signaling between the gNB and the UE.

Embodiment 4

Embodiment 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a New Radio (NR) node and a UE, as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a UE 450 and a gNB 410 that are in communication with each other in access network.

The gNB 410 comprises a controller/processor 475, a memory 476, a receiving processor 470, a transmitting processor 416, a multi-antenna receiving processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 471, a transmitter/receiver 418 and an antenna 420.

The UE 450 comprises a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454 and an antenna 452.

In downlink (DL) transmission, at the gNB 410, a higher-layer packet from a core network is provided to the controller/processor 475. The controller/processor 475 provides a function of the L2 layer. In DL transmission, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel, and radio resource allocation for the UE 450 based on various priorities. The controller/processor 475 is also in charge of HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet, and a signaling to the UE 450. The transmitting processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 perform various signal processing functions used for the L1 layer (that is, PHY). The transmitting processor 416 performs coding and interleaving so as to ensure an FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the UE 450 side, and the mapping to signal clusters corresponding to each modulation scheme (i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK, M-QAM, etc.). The multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming on encoded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. The transmitting processor 416 then maps each spatial stream into a subcarrier. The mapped symbols are multiplexed with a reference signal (i.e., pilot frequency) in time domain and/or frequency domain, and then they are assembled through Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. After that the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 performs transmission analog precoding/beamforming on the time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. Each transmitter 418 converts a baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 471 into a radio frequency (RF) stream. Each radio frequency stream is later provided to different antennas 420.

In downlink (DL) transmission, at the UE 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal via a corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers information modulated to the RF carrier, converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream to be provided to the receiving processor 456. The receiving processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 perform signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiving processor 458 performs receiving analog precoding/beamforming on a baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiving processor 456 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after receiving the analog precoding/beamforming from time domain into frequency domain using FFT. In frequency domain, a physical layer data signal and a reference signal are de-multiplexed by the receiving processor 456, wherein the reference signal is used for channel estimation, while the data signal is subjected to multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receiving processor 458 to recover any UE 450-targeted spatial stream. Symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered in the receiving processor 456 to generate a soft decision. Then the receiving processor 456 decodes and de-interleaves the soft decision to recover the higher-layer data and control signal transmitted on the physical channel by the gNB 410. Next, the higher-layer data and control signal are provided to the controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 performs functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 can be connected to a memory 460 that stores program code and data. The memory 460 can be called a computer readable medium. In downlink transmission, the controller/processor 459 provides demultiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression and control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the core network. The higher-layer packet is later provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer, or various control signals can be provided to the L3 layer for processing. The controller/processor 459 also performs error detection using ACK and/or NACK protocols as a way to support HARQ operation.

In uplink (UL) transmission, at the UE 450, the data source 467 is configured to provide a higher-layer packet to the controller/processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to a transmitting function of the gNB 410 described in DL transmission, the controller/processor 459 performs header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resource allocation of the gNB 410 so as to provide the L2 layer functions used for the user plane and the control plane. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of a lost packet, and a signaling to the gNB 410. The transmitting processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding. The multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 implements digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, as well as beamforming. Following that, the generated spatial streams are modulated into multicarrier/single-carrier symbol streams by the transmitting processor 468, and then modulated symbol streams are subjected to analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 and provided from the transmitters 454 to each antenna 452. Each transmitter 454 first converts a baseband symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitting processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream, and then provides the radio frequency symbol stream to the antenna 452.

In uplink (UL) transmission, the function of the gNB 410 is similar to the receiving function of the UE 450 described in DL transmission. Each receiver 418 receives a radio frequency signal via a corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signal into a baseband signal, and provides the baseband signal to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and multi-antenna receiving processor 472 collectively provide functions of the L1 layer. The controller/processor 475 provides functions of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 475 can be connected with the memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 can be called a computer readable medium. In UL transmission, the controller/processor 475 provides de-multiplexing between a transport channel and a logical channel, packet reassembling, decryption, header decompression, control signal processing so as to recover a higher-layer packet from the UE 450. The higher-layer packet coming from the controller/processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller/processor 475 can also perform error detection using ACK and/or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.
